WHAT IS THE NORDIC BAR?
- Designed by us here at HGG Performance®, the Nordic Bar is a strength & conditioning tool used for Nordic hamstring exercises and holds the ankles in place while kneeling on the ground (or a padded bench for comfort), and leaning forward from the knee to extend the hamstring muscles.
- Easily fastens on to any immovable solid object measuring up to 90mm in width.
- Features a heavy duty 8mm plate and an anti-slip textured pad for extra stability, plus cushioned ankle supports for comfort.
- Includes a wider back pad with two bolts allowing for a bigger bite surface to stop lateral movement during your exercise.
- Easily portable, lightweight and very strong.
KEY BENEFITS
- The most effective & safe way to perform the challenging Nordic Hamstring Exercises.
- Practicing Nordic Hamstring Exercises with The Nordic Bar increases strength in your hamstrings, quads, calves and glutes, which will help to bulletproof your legs, increase longevity and improve athletic performance.
- Strengthening these areas will also assist with the prevention and recovery of knee and hamstring injuries.
- The Nordic hamstring exercise decreases the risk of hamstring injury by up to 51% (according to a study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine) by increasing eccentric hamstring strength.
- Exercising with The Nordic Bar will also help to develop strength for other posterior chain and leg dominant exercises such as deadlifts and squats.
- Plus, stretching our your hamstrings will help you to run faster, jump higher and increase explosiveness!
- There's also a lot of fun to be had when trying out a new challenge...
HOW TO USE
STEP 1:
Slide the Nordic Bar™ around the post you are wanting to attach it to and fasten the two HGG moustache bolts up against the post until the clamping pad is tight and the Nordic Bar™ is securely attached. We recommend kneeling on The Nordic Pad or a padded bench for comfort while doing this exercise.
STEP 2:
Ensure you are doing this exercise slowly and controlled. Slide your ankles in around the cushions, then extend the hamstring muscles to lean forward (lean forward from the knees, not the hips) until you come low to the floor, then push yourself back up and repeat.
STEP 3:
Work through your exercise reps, it's time to feel the burn! There are a few ways to regress the level of difficulty to help you get started on your journey to bulletproof hamstrings. Check out this video for more exercise ideas on 5 ways to use your Nordic Bar.

How can I make the Nordic Hamstring Exercise easier?
Check out our Nordic Harness - your ultimate companion for performing assisted Nordic Hamstring Exercise/Curls.
The Nordic Harness can attach to any cable machine or resistance band, then, after fitting the harness around the shoulders, assisted Nordic Curls can be performed.
By using a Nordic Harness, you’re able to effectively deload this exercise, meaning you can train through full range of motion and perform multiple reps, whilst taking the pressure off your hamstrings and knees.
How can I make the Nordic Hamstring Exercise more comfortable?
We recommend purchasing a Nordic Pad along with your Nordic Bar which has been specially designed to ensure extra comfort for your knees when carrying out your Nordic Hamstring Exercises.
Alternatively you can use a padded bench or a folded up towel.
